What can I mix with a can of tuna?
Canned tuna is THE underrated and super versatile ingredient that your cooking has been lacking. If you’ve been looking for a way to add more fish recipes into your diet, this is it! Not only is it super delicious, but it’s also super affordable, and there are a few ways you can spice up your plain Jane cans of tuna.
Firstly, adding any sort of spicy sauce to your canned tuna is a huge vibe! If you’re a fan of all things spicy, adding sriracha is a sure fire way to level up your tuna. If you’re after something a bit more on the spicy/sweet side – sweet chilli sauce should be your first point of call for all your canned tuna needs.
You can also add mayo to your cans of tuna to add some extra salty, mayo-y goodness to your canned fish. Use your tuna/mayo concoction in sushi rolls, on top of rice bowls or even atop of a salad.
What is the best way to cook canned tuna?
There are so many ways to cook canned tuna, and whilst it may be the forgotten fish when compared with many salmon recipes or even snapper recipes, there is so much to be done with a can of tuna!
Add it to pasta, load it up with cheese and transform it into a tummy-warming tuna mornay, use it in your fish cake recipes and so much more! It’s the canned ingredient that keeps on giving!
